Happy Birthday Matthew!

Matthew turns 8 today. He had a couple friends over Friday night, which was a first for him. They camped out in the living room and I think they had a really good time. We're having his family party today. He wanted a Monster Truck cake and bought the Truck with his birthday money, along with some cars to trash like the Truck had run over them. I got it done last night but forgot to take pictures, so I'll get those taken and posted later! This is also the birthday of a friend of ours, and they had their party yesterday. They celebrated the birthdays of both their little girls, so I made them Barbie cakes. It was all very cute! Only planned to stay a couple hours because I needed to get home and get ready for the party today, but it didn't work. This family is such a neat one. Six kids, working on their fourth grandbaby, and Mom is working with me as a teacher and mentor in homeschooling. She homeschooled all six, and is graduating her twin boys this May. My kids really look up to them, too. It's really nice to be impressed by the people who impress your kids. I really hope that lasts! They are all so talented and fun to be around.
Today is also our cousin's first birthday. Happy birthday Alyssa!! We hope we get to meet you soon!
Well, I have to get moving if I want this place ready before we leave for church! Happy birthday all!!
